AHOY THERE: "Unfortunately, he had missed one of the big rules, which is
you don't go to sea by yourself," says a port commander from the Royal
Australian Navy. The boater had gone out onto Darwin Harbor after dark
and hit a buoy marking a wreck, knocking him overboard. "He is on the
water with no life jacket, no safety equipment and no flares and his
boat has just kept on going," the navy man said. Several hours later
the boat beached itself -- on navy property. Security guards found it
quickly; the engine was still running and its GPS system was on, so a
rescue crew simply followed the recorded route backward, and found the
unnamed sailor still clinging to the buoy -- seven hours after the
crash. (Australian AP) ...It's not often a guy can say he thwarted two
Darwins at the same time.
